Feeding by lepidopteran larvae is dangerous: A review of caterpillars’ chemical, physiological, morphological, and behavioral defenses against natural enemies (2012, background): “the dorsal surfaces of leaves where bits of moss or bird feces might naturally occur (DeVries, 1987; Allen, 1997; Wagner, 2005) (Fig.”
Can alien plants support generalist insect herbivores? (2010, background): “For example, Wagner (2005) lists herbaceous perennials and low-growing shrubs as common hosts of the yellow-striped armyworm.”
Timing is everything? Phenological synchrony and population variability in leaf‐chewing herbivores of Quercus (2008, background): “For example, some temperate Lepidoptera, such as most Limacodidae and many Notodontidae, feed late in the growing season when the quality of foliage is low ( Wagner, 2005; Lill et al. , 2006 ).”
Native plants improve breeding and foraging habitat for an insectivorous bird (2017, methodology): “To determine the caterpillar abundance on individual woody plant species, we conducted a timed-search sampling effort, designed for detection of Lepidoptera on woody plants, within a subset of yards where chickadees were present (Wagner, 2010; Burghardt et al., 2010).”
